West Seattle (and vicinity) businesses: Locöl patio; Zippy’s pix

| West Seattle businesses | West Seattle news | White Center

Two local businesses with new features:

That’s the back patio at Locöl (7902 35th SW), where Kyle Duce asked if we’d help get the word out about it, now that the sun is back. He says it’s open 7 days a week with full service, closing at 11 pm Fridays/Saturdays, 10 pm other nights. And while Locöl will be closed on the Fourth of July, Kyle says its new summer hours kick in Tuesday: 4 pm-2 am weekdays, noon-2 am Saturdays/Sundays, kitchen open till midnight 7 days a week, live music around 7:30 pm Sundays and Mondays. Data point: We believe Locöl is the southernmost bar-with-patio in West Seattle. Runner-up, Feedback Lounge (WSB sponsor, 6451 California SW), with lots of sunshine on its west-facing deck out back.

Now, heading farther south, into White Center:

WSB/White Center Now contributor Deanie Schwarz snapped the photo during a recent visit to Zippy’s Giant Burgers (9614 14th SW), now the newest biz with a photo booth … something they certainly couldn’t have fit into their original, mega-cozy quarters in Highland Park.

I love all these restaurants!! Don’t forget the recently opened “The Bridge” also has a awesome patio with a new fire pit!! Woo-Hoo West Seattle. The place to be when the sun comes out!

I think we’ve mentioned their patio before – frankly, there’s a whole long list of places with patios (Wing Dome opened theirs not too long ago, etc.) and if crowdsourced, we’d add a list on here somewhere :) assigned somebody to do the story once upon a time but they had to abandon the project midway through. This IS the place to be when the sun’s out – I’m heading back out to the yard in a minute myself :) – TR
